Week of January 17th: Use It Up Products

Here's to another week of use-it-up products! I've also included my products from the previous week.

Week of January 17th:

Matrix Biolage colorcarethérapie Delicate Care Shampoo: Every last ounce is gone thanks to my husband who used it to give our dog a bath! Hello, we do have dog shampoo, but of course he used my current favorite (Review Sept. 2010). (Repurchase: Immediately!)

Trish McEvoy Eyelash Curler: So this is a bit of a use-it-up stretch, but I got every ounce of life out of my eyelash curler. I've been using it daily for at least two years, but I didn't realize how poorly mine was working until I tried a newer one at the counter. Gasp...my lashes look so much better! (Repurchase: I grabbed a new one immediately after seeing the results.)

Trish McEvoy Beta Hydroxy Pads: I started using these again after a recent facial and peel that left with me the dreaded "peelies." I forgot how well they worked (Review Jan. 2011)! (Use spare: I have an extra box that I purchased during a 2-for-1 special last year.)

Week of January 10th:

Benefit Brow Zings: Another holy grail product that I cannot skip in my daily routine (Review Nov. 2009). I'll confess that I did not use it ALL up — but pretty close to it. The powder side of the product started crumbling excessively and I couldn't get it to apply evenly anymore. (Repurchase: I bought a new one over the weekend.)

Kiehl's Creme de Corp Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter: I've been alternating this rich and delightful product with my other daily body moisturizers (Review Oct. 2010). (Skip: I have other similar moisturizers that I should use up first before I consider repurchasing.)

Matrix Biolage hydrathérapie Conditioning Balm: If this conditioner is ever discontinued, I will cry! I'm on my third bottle since I discovered it on vacation last year (Review June 2010, Mention Dec. 2010). (Repurchase: I ran, not walked, to Ulta an for immediate repurchase.)

Slatkin & Co. Winter Candle: I bought this gem more than a year ago in a clearance bin (Mention Dec. 2010)! And oh how I've enjoyed its crisp pine and spice scent during the holidays. I pulled it out right before Thanksgiving and have been enjoying it ever since. (Skip: I have other candles in my stash that I need to use. However, a Bath & Body Works sale may tempt me!)
